12 Sheffield Court, Beaufort

(Same house WITH adjacent lot is MLS #187046) In the waterfront community of Cat Island, 10 minutes from downtown Beaufort, discover a classic red 2 story cottage with a white picket fence at the end of a quiet street. Graced with a large front porch and covered balcony above, the driveway stretches to a matching carriage house with 2 car garage. Enjoy the Lowcountry with greenspace on one side and a vacant lot on the other with a signature old Live Oak tree. Inside, tall ceilings and hardwood floors with an open floor plan connect the living room, dining room, & family room with fireplace, which are all served by the open kitchen (seller allowance for new appliances). A bedroom & ensuite full bathroom has a decorative inner door to create a half bath with hall access. Upstairs are two more bedrooms with tall ceilings, one of which could easily become a nursery or office, and the other serves as a primary bedroom with its own ensuite full bathroom as well as a private balcony and 2 separate closets. With beautiful views, it's a retreat in itself. Off the back of the house there is a screened porch with ceiling fan and views of the large side yard or the completely fenced patio and garden behind the house where you will also find the stairs accessing the lovely carriage house apartment over the two car garage. The side yard offers plenty of options from a large yard for children or pets to enjoy, to creative plans for a beautiful outdoor entertaining area, or even the option of expanding the house by building on another wing. A short walk to the tennis courts and resort pool area adjacent to the golf course driving range, or go just across to the Clubhouse for their wonderful dining options, large covered patio out back, and incredible Pro-shop for all your golfing needs. See a beautiful video (attached to this listing) which showcases Cat's golf course and their spectacular views of the Lowcountry. The Cat Island community is vibrant and very active for those who want to be engaged with their neighbors and social members. From Cat Island you are only a few minutes away from the popular Port Royal Farmers Market every Saturday morning, or travel less than 30 min to the 5 miles of pristine ocean beaches of Hunting Island State Park.
